Well, I grew up in Colorado, so I know every corner of this state inside and out, but I can't think of a more beautiful site than sitting atop Mt. Ives in the Huron Mountain Club north of Big Bay, MI and looking out at the Keewenaw and L. Superior and the sandstone cliffs on the lake shore South towards Big Bay. Wait, is it more pretty at hidden beach where the only egrees is to walk beneath 100 foot cliffs in the L. Superior waters?

Or is it prettier sitting on a beach in Leland looking out towards the Manitou Islands with perfect tourquoise waters at your feet?

I can't decide, but they're pretty amazing.

They might not beat a mountain vista, but they certainly equal it.
